That is in error.

Hobart pulls away in the second half to defeat Griffith 35-0 at the Brickyard.

Like the poor, I am always with you.

Did your wing official come up and report that the pass didn’t make the NZ? 😂🤣

Any of the illegal forward pass fouls carry a loss of down provision, as does illegal forward handing of the ball, and illegal touching.

Your spot is “spot on!” 🤣

a) and b) are correct, but c) needs some work. You were using A and B and then switched to Brown and Adam, and you may have referred to Team B when you meant A. Try again, because I can envision a very interesting scenario.

?????

Yes, indeed. A kick that does not go beyond the neutral zone can be recovered by the kicking team, and they are free to kick, pass, or run the ball.

Yes, kicking the ball beyond the neutral zone is a foul in high school. The ball remains alive … and is treated as if it were a fumble, which can make for some interesting situations. The penalty for the foul is 10 yds., enforced under the ordinary rules for live ball fouls.

Still legal. Doug Flutie was the last to do it in the NFL, I think.

This one came up in the game I observed. I’ve modified it slightly to make it a little more interesting. How should this be handled? 3rd & 6 from the B 24. A5 runs a toss sweep toward the linesman. In the middle of the field, U has 2 flags, one on an OL for holding, and one on a DL for a personal foul, as he objected to being held. Meanwhile, the line judge is moving down his sideline when (a) he runs into a coach of Team B in the restricted area, or (b) he moves around a coach of Team B who is a yard out onto the field. In each case the coach of Team B was quite loudly pointing out the holding foul to “help” the umpire make the call. All of this occurred while the ball was alive.

Post your questions or comments about Week 3’s officiating issues here. For the first two weeks, it’s been pretty quiet. Now, as we move into conference play in many places, things usually heat up a bit. As always, please make any comments in a sportsmanlike way.

I don’t understand how that Warren team lost a game, let alone two during the regular season. Chatard had a great team. But speed kills, and Warren had it in abundance.

Not sure what you mean.

And I believe you’re a doomsayer who doesn’t or won’t acknowledge that the vast majority of athletes transferring schools are no problem, and shouldn’t suffer because a scenario like you’ve envisioned “might” be an unintended consequence.

A system of rules designed to accomplish a particular result should not be written to address the “one in a million” situation at the expense of the great majority of students wishing to change schools and continue to participate in athletics without suffering eligibility restrictions.

That is Twilight Zone stuff!

I don’t know much about Loyola. But I don’t ever recall seeing a St. X team pushed around like that. They lost to a very good Lakota West team (now ranked #2 in Ohio by Maxpreps) 16-13 in week 1, so I would guess they’re not terrible. Loyola must be pretty good.

I watched some of the Loyola - St. X game. Shocking the way X was physically manhandled.

The OT loss to Moeller was the only blemish on the Eagles’ record on their way to the state championship. This year is payback. The Eagles journey to Cincinnati on Oct. 15. That date is already circled.

No.

Saturday at 3 pm Central.

One of the best venues in the North, without a doubt.

The Eagles have a real test this week. They host 3 time defending Colorado big school champ Cherry Creek, a school of 3,800 students.
